Long-tailed sea ducks are known for their distinctive feathers and very unique yodel-like calls. The native breeding ground for this handsome—and vulnerable— species of sea duck is near arctic tundra and coastal habitats throughout Asia, Europe, and North America. WCS works to protect the wetland habitat in Arctic Alaska for these and many other migratory birds, and two chicks have been successfully raised at Central Park Zoo.
